Has Your League Filed Its Form 990-N Yet?

All Leagues that receive less than $50,000 in income must file an e-postcard return (also known as Form 990N) every year. The only exceptions are Leagues that are included in their state League’s group return or that file the more complicated Form 990 or 990-EZ. Most Leagues have successfully completed the form, though some have not.

If your League hasn’t filed the online form yet, please do so immediately. The IRS will revoke the tax exempt status of any League that doesn't file for three consecutive years.

(If your League doesn’t have a federal tax ID number, apply for one online at https://sa1.www4.irs.gov/modiein/individual/index.jsp . At the beginning of the application process, you will be asked to check a box that best describes your legal structure. The legal structure for Leagues is found under the 7th option, “View Additional Types, Including Tax Exempt and Governmental Agencies.” Select “Community or Volunteer Group”).
